About the book
The second book in Ed McDonald's Redwinter Chronicles, Traitor of Redwinter is full of deadly politics, ancient powers . . . and a young woman navigating a world in which no one is quite what they seem.
Raine is a member of the Draoihn, a sect of powerful magic users who hold the realm together in precarious balance. But Raine has a secret. She can see the dead, and her forbidden magic could get her killed by the very people she counts as friends.
As Raine works desperately to hide her gift, rebellious lords across the land threaten anarchy in the wake of the king's failing health, and she is pulled into a web of treachery and deceit even the most powerful of magic users would struggle to navigate.
Raine might be the one person who could hold back the impending chaos. For the lords are backed by dark powers they do not understand. If certain doom is to be avoided, Raine will need to embrace her terrible magic and discover how powerful she could truly become.

1.5Handwerklich einfach soooo schlimm. Das Buch ist 500 Seiten lang und da hätte man definitiv 150 Seiten rauskürzen können, weil bereits passiertes einfach STÄNDIG wiederholt wird. Dabei gibt es sogar extra ein Recap zu Anfang. Generell hab ichs dann Beenden wollen, weil ich das Rätsel gelöst haben wollte und ob sich meine Vorahnung bewahrheitet. Die Story ist vorhersehbar an vielen Stellen - die Stellen, die nicht vorhersehbar sind, sind völlig an den Haaren herbeigezogen und ergeben keinen Sinn. Die Charaktere erfüllen jedes überspitzte Teenie Drama, das man sich ausdenken kann und handeln absolut unreflektiert. Jede Reflektion, die die Chataktere durchmachen, wird nach 2 Sätzen wieder über den Haufen geworfen. Ich frage mich wirklich, was mit dem Autoren zwischen Raven's Mark und Redwinter passiert ist. Hätte geschworen, dass er das selb inst gepublished hat und sich keine Editor:innen leisten konnte, bis ich in der Danksagung gelesen habe, dass er 5(!!) Editor:innen hatte! Einer meiner frustrierendsten Reads seit langem.
